Has anyone ported C++ version 1.2.1 to the Silicon Graphics 4D (the one with the MIPS processor). The version I have worked on thus far has one little problem in that when C++ defines functions to C it strips out all of the parameter definitions. For example: extern abc (double, float); is transmitted as extern abc (); With this the C compiler assumes both arguments to be double which causes problems when trying to use the graphics library. The C compiler on the SGI has been extended to accept parameter typing in function definitions. I am willing to share what I have done so far with others, such as the changes necessary to /usr/include/CC and size.h. We have also been converting /usr/include/gl files to C++ as we need them.
